I think that's the timeout for the three-way handshaked, not for the 
established connections. In factn the name is very unfortunate, since 
it's not IPv4-specific, but TCP-specific.

net_ReadNonBlock (and net_Select, but I dislike it) have a timeout 
parameter that is set by the calling plugin, at its discretion.
